JAY J. WIGGIN, CINCINNATI, OHIO. Letters Patent No. 60,310, dated December 4, 1866.

`SPacl'cn'r:QN. TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JAYJ. WIGGIN, of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Mould for Furniture Composition; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, v and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawingsorming-a part of` this specification, and in which my invention is represented by a perspective view, partly in section.

. This invention relates to a mould made'in rectangular form, and'kconsisting of detachablesections or parts 1 l which are firmly held together by jam screws and clamps.` It is'employed to give shape 4to the furniture comf t position or Egyptian Case Hardened Marble, an invention of my own, which is to be secured by Letters Patent, simultaneously herewith. V

In order that others skilled in the art to which my invention and use the same, I will proceed to describe it in detail.

`In the accompanying drawings, A represents the bed or bottom of the mould, B B the side pieces, C the end pieces, and D the central transverse partition.` The latter is shown as made double or in two pieces, but; it may be either single or double, as` preferred. The side pieces, B B,yarel` formed with mortises or grooves `at b b b for the reception of the ends of the end pieces, C C, and partition, D. E E are` clamps upon which the bottom, A, has its direct support. l The jaws, e e', `of' these clamps extend upward at the outer sides ofthe side piece, -B B. F F represent jam screws,Vworkingithrough the jaws, e e,`and bearing against the adjacent side piece, B, of the mould, the opposite side piece, B, being thereby clamped firmly against the jaws, e e. By means of the clamps and screws the parts A B` C D are held firmly together; Abutthey may be readily takenapart by releasingthe side pieces, B B, from the clamping action of thescrews. i `The partition `at D may be removed l entirely, so as to leave an undivided moulding area; and longer or shorter side and end ,pieces may be substituted for B C, the clamps and screws being applicable to mouldsV of various sizes. `When the partition, D, Ais

removed, the grooves, 6', may be lilled with blocks 4provided especially for that purpose. The material topbe` moulddis poured into the mould in its fluid state, and allowed to cool and solidify. 'i -The removal of the moulded material m'ay then be facilitated by detaching the several parts of the mould, as above described. Having thus described my invention, the following is what I claim as new herein, and desire to secure by Letters Patent: v y

The within describ'ed mould, constructed lwith removable partitions, in the`manner and', for the purpose shown and described.
